Zaria Residents Accuse Zakzaky & His Followers by Mrlekan07034617: 1:13pm On Dec 27, 2015 |
Some residents of Zaria, Kaduna state on Saturday alleged that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria otherwise known as Shiite had subjected them to untold hardship in the past 20 years. Addressing a news conference in Kaduna, spokesman of the group, Alhaji Idris Mohammed Baba said the Shiites had held residents of Zaria and Sabon Gari local government areas hostage with impunity by allegedly operating a parallel government. Although he described the recent killing of members of the recent in a recent clash with the Nigerian army as unfortunate, he called on the Federal Government to urgently call the Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky-led movement in their communities to order in the interest of peace and stability. According to him, sometimes in May 2015, 24 youths in the Gyellesu area of Zaria where Sheikh Zakzaky is resident, were declared persona non grata for daring to challenge impunity being allegedly perpetrated by members of the sect. Narrating the ordeals of residents of Zaria in the hands of the sect members for over 20 years, Baba alleged that some point the sect members even threatened to kill him. “As a community, we wrote letters to the government about ungodly activities of Shiites but no single action was taken. We no longer report Shiites to police because they will never honour police or security invitation. They are authority unto themselves, they don’t respect authority, security and so on. “We are Muslims but we discovered that, Shiites activities are contrary to Islam. They carried dangerous weapons openly molesting innocent people in our areas. Human Rights groups should also look into our pains by the sect”, he added. Also speaking during the press conference, one of the elders in Gyellesu area, Alhaji Saidu Garba, said economic and social activities in the area were crippled because the Shiite members will not tolerate anything contrary to their beliefs and doctrine. “After El-Zakzaky was released from detention in 1999, he came and settled in Gyallesu since then there is no peace in our area. We thank Allah for touching the heart of government and the military for liberating us from Shiites untold hardship. “Shiites killed many of our people who challenged their activities, we buried them and we cannot talk to the world because of their threat. We were living like slaves in our own land which Shiite leader, Sheikh El-Zakzaky came and met us. “We residents of Gyallesu are calling on the Federal government to ban Shiite movement in our community and Kaduna state as a whole. Government should put a stop to Shiite’s ungodly activities in our area”, he said. The Zaria community also made available documents dated 18th May, 2015 in which the Shiites declared some youths persona non grata. The document was signed by Secretary of Gyallesu Elders Forum, Alhaji Mukhtar Gambo, A copy of another letter of complaint to the Emir of Zazzau by the Gyallesu community against alleged impunity by Shiite, dated May 20, 2013 and several petitions to the authorities were also made available to journalists during the press conference. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/zaria-residents-accuse-zakzaky-followers-of-alleged-human-right-abuses-impunity/228924/ |

But, it doesn't justify the NA to shoot on unarmed protesters or their likes. This is a crime against humanity |
